Account Closed The lawsuit I mentioned would be to quiet title — whether based upon the unrecorded POA, fraud, error, mistake, adverse possession, and/or anything else a local attorney could come up with that might be successful.

I have been reading and watching about everything and under stand there is no “right way” to do it, but i just want to express my thoughts and questions and get some feedback before i pull the trigger on some of my steps.

I'm a broker and investor in NYC, actually closed on an investment property my clients that are RNs bought :) If you're looking to start out, what helped me the most was reading about REI as well as attending local meetups to get a 'lay of the land' on what other investors and brokers are working on. 

Yo BP, I closed on a house the other day, but at the same time the foreclosing trustee was auctioning off the house at the courthouse steps in Virginia.  

I just closed (yesterday 4/15) on my first long term investment property.

As soon as the deal closed, I submitted in my application for the Philadelphia Business Privilege License (which was received online pretty much immediately) and then applied for the Rental License (AKA Housing Inspection license) for my rental property (apparently takes 4-6 weeks).

Also, as Account Closed mentioned, Gold can be very slow moving and transferring can be a bit a job all in its own. 

Some brokerages use unlicensed assistants to answer the phones (which, at least in NJ, means all they can do is take a message if somebody is calling about a property), but then there is a fee applied to all agents to basically cover that expense.Definitely look closely at what is your bottom line yearly amount of fees/dues. 

Because, you as the buyer will want written confirmation at closing that what's written in the lease is what is really taking place.

I am out of state investing in the Cleveland market and I have a property I'm looking to close on!
